Lawrence, Kansas — A California man organized an antiabortion protest
in which cloth billboards depicted a swastika and a photo of Holocaust
victims with the caption, "Reproductive Choice." Gregg Cunningham,
director of the Los Angeles-based Center for Bio-Ethical Reform, led
the demonstration.

"Abortion is genocide. That's the whole point," Cunningham said.
"Frankly, I'm weary of genocide snobs who focus solely on their
causes." He refused to make any apologies for the comparison between
abortion and the Holocaust.

Another sign showed a photo of the lynching of a Black man, over the
words, "Racial Choice."

The demonstration at the University of Kansas coincided with the
Jewish holidays in September. Angry students tore down the signs, and
according to published reports, punched one man holding a sign.

Cunningham and the Wichita-based Heartland for Life Network arranged
the protest through a club for Christian law students at the
university. Last year Cunningham hosted a similar demonstration at
Pennsylvania State University during Passover.
